Judge Evans, Brown v State, 134 Ga.Ct.App. 771, 771-772, 216 S.E.2d 356 (1975). In the footnotes to the case, Judge Evans explains that the decision was written in rhyme because a Senior Judge of the Superior Courts had demanded (at a party) that if the writer ever reversed another one of his decisions, the opinion be written in poetry. Judge Evans goes on to say “it was no easy task to write the opinion in rhyme”.
